David Herbert 'D. H.' Lawrence
Author
Description
A collection of poems should not be considered separately, as so many single pieces. They are intended as an essential story, or history, or confession, unfolding one from the other in organic development, the whole revealing the intrinsic experience of a man during the crisis of manhood, when he marries and comes into himself.

It was the Sunday after Easter, and the last bull-fight of the season in Mexico City. Four special bulls had been brought over from Spain for the occasion, since Spanish bulls are more fiery than Mexican. Perhaps it is the altitude, perhaps just the spirit of the western Continent which is to blame for the lack of pep, as Owen put it, in the native animal.

"¿Qué es, entonces, la pornografía? En cuanto al arte, no es ni la carga ni la estimulación sexual. Ni siquiera es la intención deliberada del artista de despertar o de excitar sensaciones sexuales. No hay nada de malo en las sensaciones sexuales en sí mismas, siempre y cuando se manifiesten sin rodeos y no solapadamente o a escondidas."
Pornografía y obscenidad, ensayo publicado en 1929, es la última obra de David Herbert Lawrence. En este...
